Re: [Dev-C++] Memory leak detection tool?

[Nicolas R. <ni...@bo...>]

Hello,

Thanks to Reid and Goran for their suggestions (splint and valgrind).

The former targets a much more ambitious and general goal than what I 
was looking for, and while it seems to address my needs in particular, 
it does so for C code only (their FAQ says no C++ support). The latter, 
valgrind, is exactly the kind of tool I am looking for, and looks very 
promising indeed... but according to the docs it *requires* a Linux 
kernel, and thus is not compatible with Dev on Windows (it's not even a 
get-it-to-build problem; it just won't work at all).

Any other ideas are welcome. As I said before, I already tried mpatrol 
and MSS, both of which look nice, but I couldn't get either one to 
build and work correctly (probably due to my own limitations and to the 
code being pre-gcc 3.2 and/or rather UNIX-oriented). Is anyone out 
there successfully using a memory leak detector with Dev 5?

Thanks again,
Nicolas
